Component Overview

1. POWER UNIT
This is the main part of the mixer that includes
the electrical controls, the motor assembly,
drive gears, and the control panel. Each unit has
been factory tested to ensure that all internal
components are in proper working order. The
cover must not be removed. There are no
adjustments that can be made and no serviceable
parts within the power unit. All service must be
performed by the Blendtec factory. Removing the
cover may result in damage to the machine AND
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
2. POWER SWITCH
The power switch is located on the lower right
corner of the machine (below the control panel).
Power can be immediately turned off using this
switch.
3. LOW SPEED DRIVE
Because of the great variety of options on the
Mix-n-Blend II™, two drives are required. The low
speed drive is located on the lower left section of
the mixer. The low speed drive operates the bowl.
4. HIGH SPEED DRIVE
The high speed drive is located on the upper right
side of the mixer and is used to drive the blender.
